Fulla för kärlekens skull [English translation]
Fulla för kärlekens skull [English translation]
Somewhere the clock strikes four now
And it's pouring down outside
I'm leaving in an hour
Maria's sleeping yet
We sat on Rörstrand Street
Last night and drank some wine
The autumn leaves filled up our hearts
Two lovers is what we were
The suitcase is already packed now
But I don't want to go
How do you leave the one you love?
I will never understand
Long ago there was a time
When my heart was made of stone
I could leave everything and everyone
I just changed my role and scene
Now tears roll down my cheeks
As I drive out through South Toll
Tonight I will get drunk, for the sake of love
Sunday night in the town I was born
I stand in a bar with old friends
We swore the pact when we were young
All for one whatever happens
But the wild life it tore me
Someone leaves and someone stays
God's honour to those who stay
And carry the dead to their graves
Now I walk the street of memories
Through a land of olden trams
Through the smog of the factories
Before the jobs disappeared
And pictures of my hometown, they chase me through my dreams
This is for everyone who never made it
To the other side of the dream
People aim guns to their foreheads
Or kill somebody else
And we drink for the sake of love
We are drunk for the sake of love
I've travelled ten thousand miles
My life is train and boat and car
I walk out naked in the night
I am an island and you're the water
And it's summer for just one second
And I remember everything
When we went to the sea for the sake of love
When we got drunk for the sake of love
And death and loneliness have called and booked a table
Between the walls of the church, echo a thousand years of words
And we talked in the dark
I said "Honey, tell me what you want
Forget the serious games, I'm coming back for real"
And I sit down in my car
And I smoke a cigarette
Yeah, the sort that don't do it right, they still make it yet
And my brother sits beside me
Like a lost Don Quixote
With the guitar around him tightly
Always ready to take a shot
We're on our way to a new day
We're on our way to Stockholm City
We'll get drunk for the sake of love
We have broad wings of gold
And we fall down to our knees
And we are drunk for the sake of love
We are drunk for the sake of love
We are drunk for the sake of love
